Reading and Swimming

I am an avid reader who enjoys thriller novels and autobiographies. My most favorite author is Stephen King and next in line is James Patterson. In my teenage years I enjoyed reading Danielle Steele novels. Reading allows me to explore without moving from the comforts of my bed or couch.

Swimming was one of a few sporting activities that I was very good at. While in preparatory and high school I was able to represent my school in competitions, which I looked forward to.
